Jonn and I have written before about the troubles in DoD\u2019s Nuclear Kingdom. Well, looks like there\u2019s a bit more fallout (intentional pun) from those investigations.<\/p>\n
Besides cheating on annual proficiency exams and poor leadership, the investigation turned up leads indicating possible illegal drug use. Those leads were turned over to AFOSI, who investigated the matter.<\/p>\n
It looks like the leads were worth following. One 2d Lt is now facing court-martial for drug and obstruction of justice charges; the court-martial will start 21 Jan 2015. Three others were also investigated, but to date charges have not been preferred against them.<\/p>\n
The UK newspaper The Independent<\/span> has a short article giving more details<\/a>; ditto Fox News and several local Montana media outlets. All appear to contain about the same information.<\/p>\n Looks like fixing the Nuclear Kingdom\u2019s problems may take a while. That should be no surprise, though. Changing an organization\u2019s culture always does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
